Toddler Constipation - Effective Remedies & Prevention

Constipation occurs when waste material moves through the bowel too slowly. It is characterized as infrequent bowel movements and the passage of hard and painful stools. Usually constipation is caused by a diet low in fiber, ingesting too much dairy products such as milk and cheese, not drinking enough water or waiting too long to go to the bathroom. Waiting too long to go to the bathroom is very common among young children. It is amazing how kids will ignore the urge to use the bathroom until they are two seconds from wetting their pants. Talk about procrastination!

If a child has hard and painful stools, he will typically hold in his bowel movements to prevent it from hurting again. This makes the constipation continue and worsen. Remind your child to go when they have the urge and not wait until the last minute.

Constipation is best treated by making dietary changes. Until the constipation has improved stool softeners and natural remedies may be used. Some measures that can be used to treat and prevent constipation in your child include:

Increasing fluids: Increase the amount of water and fruit juice that your child drinks each day.

Increasing fiber: Increase the amounts of fruits and vegetables. Raw, unpeeled fruits and vegetables such as beans, sweet potatoes, peas, turnip greens, raw tomatoes and corn contain an excellent amount of fiber. Vegetable soups are especially high in fiber and also add more liquids to your child's diet.

Increasing bran: Increase bran in your child's diet with bran cereals, bran muffins, shredded wheat, graham crackers, or whole wheat bread.

Reducing constipating foods: Foods that cause constipation include cow's milk, yogurt, cheese, cooked carrots, and bananas. Drinking too much milk (your child may only be drinking 2-3 cups a day, but it may be too much for his system to handle) is heavily associated with having constipation. Soy milk has been shown to soften stools.

Stool Softeners

Many medicines used to prevent constipation can be purchased over the counter at your local pharmacy. They include Colace Syrup, Maltsupex, Metamucil, Milk of magnesia, Citrucel, mineral oil.

Unlike laxatives, stool softeners are usually not considered to be habit forming. You should use them once or twice a day and work up on the dose until your child is having a soft stool each day. If you child starts to have diarrhea, then you are giving too much and should cut back on the dosage.

Acute Constipation

If your child has been constipated for a long time he may need to be "cleaned out" before the stool softeners will work by using an enema, a glycerine suppository or high doses of mineral oil. A stimulate laxative such as Senokot can also be used. Miralax is an effective medicine used to treat constipation but is available only by prescription. Avoid the frequent use of enemas, suppositories and laxatives because they can become habit forming. Contact your physician before treating a child with acute constipation.

Natural Remedies

Natural remedies and dietary supplements that aid in the preventing constipation

are:

*Garlic - destroys harmful bacteria in the colon.

*Vitamin C with Bioflavonoids - has a cleansing and healing effect.

*Chlorophyll Liquid - eliminates toxins and bad breath.

*Vitamin E - helps heal the colon.

*Aloe Vera - heals and cleans the digestive tract and softens stools when taken internally.

*Ginger - stimulates the digestive system and helps food pass through the intestines.

* Flax seed - You can buy flaxseeds and crush them yourself and add it in your food. Make sure to drink plenty of water.

Loving Parents - A Tribute to Loving Parents

Loving parents begin as a Child's personal angels of protection,

Whose charged with leading them in the right directions.

Loving parents are not afraid to correct you when you're wrong,

Or teach and encourage you to be strong.

Loving parents work together in there own special ways,

To help enhance and prolong a Child's days.

Loving parents guide their Child by personal example and deed,

Guiding their Child's actions, ways and filling their needs.

Loving parents is one of our societies greatest assets and treasures,

They give what no other man or machine or measure.

Things like patience, sacrifice and even the ability to sometimes say no,

They demonstrate their love for their Child not by what they say - but by what they show.

I'm happy to honor you parents, for your wisdom, guidance and the examples you have set,

Examples of how to treat others in life and the example of the more you give the more you get.

The lessons in life you managed to teach me have stayed with me throughout the years,

To help my courage and to eliminate my uncertainties and fears.

As I've grown into adulthood I have found,

The riches and wealth of wisdom you've given me to be sound.

The correction and discipline you gave me as a Child,

Has worked for my good as an adult for many years and many miles.

I thank you for your patience while I learned to mature,

I thank you for the answers to my many questions when I wasn't quite sure.

I thank you for giving me the best you had to give,

Loving, correcting and teaching me productive ways to live.

Yes, parents are special to every Child's life, there touch is never lost,

Their influence is often felt for a lifetime, far beyond any price far beyond any cost.

A parents job is never really finished, as their child matures their job is just reduced in size,

Their love, experience and wisdom is always needed to help enhance their children's lives.

God Bless You and God Bless All Loving Parents!
